Why is Trip on the Funny Boat on this list and not included? It was created for pyweek and is fully opensource... whether it is like another game irrelevant... --[[User:RB0|RB0]] 03:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
: Just add it then. The Bloboats mention was just a comment to have something else, not just the title and the URL. I include games here not necessarily because of any problems with the game. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 13:16, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
:: Alright, I was just making sure :) --[[User:RB0|RB0]] 18:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Anyway, one minute I'm being told to add in any game no matter how notable. Next I see a page listing games that aren't notable enough to be include...[[User:John|Jo]][[User talk:John|hn]][[Special:Contributions/John|J]] 18:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== Linking to Categories ==

Inside pages in the mainspace, then do we really want to link to a category other than in category section at the bottom. It just looks messy and unprofessional. -- [[User:John|Jo]][[User talk:John|hn]][[Special:Contributions/John|J]] 08:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:Unprofessional how?--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 10:29, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
::When I follow links, then I expect it to link to reading material. If we link to the same page more than once, and then it's annoying if you want to do a lot of reading. Anyway we have all the categories at the bottom. It doesn't even say that it leads to a category, what if I don't know what C is? I go to the page expecting to find out but find a list of games using it. -- [[User:John|Jo]][[User talk:John|hn]][[Special:Contributions/John|J]] 10:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:::It is not annoying to me. If you want reading materials, expand these categories or something.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 10:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
::::But when was the last time you saw that on another wiki without it mentioning it? -- [[User:John|Jo]][[User talk:John|hn]][[Special:Contributions/John|J]] 10:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::Irrelevant to the discussion.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 10:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::Fine keep it -- [[User:John|Jo]][[User talk:John|hn]][[Special:Contributions/John|J]] 10:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Just my 2cw, but it is not irrelevant to the discussion, how do you judge professional if not against other sites? For my opinion, I think either should make a wiki page for each language we come across as being used (yeah, right...) or we don't "link" to categories for games written in that language. If nothing else we need some way of saying "link to a list of games written in X language..." -- [[User:RB0|RB0]] 06:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

There is a mini competition that runs once a month, with less stringent rules, created to keep the contestants busy in the off season between the main competitions.
The rules were changed in an effort to provide a more relaxed feel to the competition. Some of the changes include: teams are allowed, existing art/sound/media/etc. are allowed, theme is not voted on, but chosen by the person running the competition.
It first ran in June of 2008 <ref>http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/category/minild/minild1/</ref>

'''Biniax''' is a [[:Category:Puzzle games|puzzle]] arcade game by [[Jordan Tuzsuzov]]. The code is distributed under a modified [[ZLIB license]], and data under a [[Creative Commons Attribution]] license.

== Versions ==

There are a few versions:
* Biniax (Classic) — the original version
* Biniax Mobile — a Java version for cellphones
* Biniax-2 — a refurbished Biniax, supporting multiplayer.

==Gameplay==
The player controls an element of some color. A mass of pairs of elements is coming from above.

The player’s element can collide with a pair which contains an element of the same color. That causes the two elements of the same color to disappear, and the player’s element is replaced with the other element from the pair. That’s called “taking the pair”.

In the mass of pairs, there are empty spaces and places that cannot be gone through.

Sometimes, a whole column can be cleared. Then it can be done quickly using the Space key.

The game ends when the mass or another player’s element crushes the player’s element against the bottom.

'''Matthew Roe''', also known as '''RB[0]''', '''RB0''' and '''RoeBros''', began modding for [[Battle for Wesnoth]] in 2004, and started programming in Python in 2005. He co-founded and heads the game development team [[HoleInTheHeadStudios]], which competes in the bi-annual [[PyWeek]] programming competition.

==Games==
Roe is a hobbyist developer, but has created numerous small open-source games.

He is currently working on the [[GalaxyMage]] ''Redux'' project, as a lead programmer.<ref>[http://holeintheheadstudios.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=99 Posts that in his blog]</ref>

==Trivia==
While Roe's ''official'' nickname is RB[0], due to technical limitations, many environments do not allow this user-name.

He uses RoeBros on sites where there is a minimum number of characters - like gmail, RB0 for sites that don't allow brackets but have no size limitations - like IPB forum boards, and he uses RB[0] for everything else.

RB0:

Which game did he start? List plz. --[[User:Qubodup|Qubodup]] 00:43, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

Sorry, forgot to add them earlier.
I created Eskimo-Run, SearchForTheRedHerring, MagicGardenersTournament and StarPynguin. --[[user:RB0|RB0]] 18:19, 26 August 2007 (GMT-6)

Also, please make clear what the correct names are, is it MagicGardenersTournament or Magic Gardeners Tournament, is it Eskimo-Run or Eskimo-run? Remember that you cannot post 'news' like the decision that you changed the names or the names are this and that on this wiki, maybe you can post it on your forum, so it is clear? --[[User:Qubodup|Qubodup]] 02:07, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

Okay, the names are 'Magic Gardeners Tournament', "Search for the Red Herring", "Star Pynguin" and "Eskimo-Run", I only used the other names because I didn't know the wiki would handle sapces in the names until after I created them, I will change them around to fit correctly if I can, otherwise guess I just put more in your laps, sorry :/ --[[user:RB0|RB0]] 20:30, 26 August 2007 (GMT-6)

Should I use the move function and name all of the pages there real name or use something else? --[[user:RB0|RB0]] 20:45, 26 August 2007 (GMT-6)

== Pronounciation of nickname ==

Please state wether your nickname is RB-O or RB Zero, thanks, also how about a section explaining about how you got your nickname -- [[User:John|John]] 19:27, 26 November 2007 (CET)
:Hehe, it is RB Zero, forgot about that. I got my nickname because years ago when I originally became active in the open-source scene it was me and my bro's, all together. Then when I went off on my own I changed it to RB[0], ie the first roebro :) I'll add this later, or you can if you want [[User:RB0|RB0]] 22:28, 26 November 2007 (CET)
::Ah ok, I keep pronouncing it RB-oh, oops...[[User:John|John]] 16:38, 27 November 2007 (CET)
:::Ah, ok, I meant the spelling, I was trying to figure out what you meant by pronunciation, doh! :) It is actually undefined, I often just say "oh" when I'm talking about zero, so sometimes people call me "Robo" but it doesn't really matter, however you pronounce zero is what you say :) [[User:RB0|RB0]] 22:31, 27 November 2007 (CET)

PyWeek

2008-05-04T03:33:42Z

RB0: addition of stuff

'''PyWeek''' is a bi-annual game programming challenge using [http://www.python.org/ Python]. The contestants often use the game library for Python, [[Pygame]],OpenGL bindings [http://www.pyopengl.org/ PyOpenGL] and the [[Pyglet]] game and multimedia library. In total 6 PyWeek contests are completed. The sixth contest was finished on Sunday 6th April, and the judging on the 18th.

==Contests==
On pyweek.org, each contest has three stages:
*First, week-long vote on themes. There are always five possible choices that are chosen by a person not participating in the contest.
*Second, the actual competition that lasts for a week.
*Finally, 2 weeks of voting are allowed for all users who submitted a game or were part of a team that submitted a game to play and rate the other finalists.
Entries are judged on ''Fun'' - how fun the game was and how likely you are to play this in the future,
''Innovation'' - how new, interesting, fitting the theme the game was,
and ''Production'' - how clean the game design was, how nice the graphics/sfx/music were, a bug-less the game is, how polished it is. Most users will give a game with a good readme file a heigher productions score as well.

Contests listed here are already completed.

*'''PyWeek 1: Power''': The overall winner of this contest was the game [[Dynamite]], the individual winner for this contest was the game [[Pawns: Power vs Responsibility]]. It took place in August 2005 on a different website, mechanicalcat.net.

===Pygame.draw===

The ''Pyweek'' site also hosted the Pygame.draw challenge in which programmers are required to write a game using only the python standard library and Pygame, fitting everything in single file that must be 64kbytes in size or less.
As of June 26, 2006, the submissions are ready for download.<ref>[http://media.pyweek.org/static/pygame.draw-0606.html pygame.draw page on pyweek.org]</ref>

==History==

PyWeek was devised by [[Richard T. Jones]] as a response to his experiences competing in (and running) [[Ludum Dare]] 48-hour challenges.<ref>[http://www.mechanicalcat.net/richard/log?year=2005&month=7 Richards blog]</ref>

The week-long format was devised to make the challenge more accessible. Similarly the ability to form a team or run as an individual also increases participation. The challenge is also open to using appropriately-licensed art content not developed during the challenge.<ref>[http://media.pyweek.org/static/rules.html#existing-artwork-music-and-sound-effects-may-be-used pyweek rules page/existing content]</ref>

The limitation to using Python was made to advocate Python and to increase the amount of tools and knowledge for Python game programmers.{{Reference required}}

Judging from the screenshots this game also seems like its played from a third-person perspective, so it should probably be changed from the category First-person shooters to Third-person shooters. [[User:83.252.17.61|83.252.17.61]] 16:57, 14 February 2008 (CET)
:I saw the same thing, and was just about to edit when I had a question. Is this game even a shooter?!? Looking through it looks mainly like an RPG, so the Shooter thing is totally irrelevant as well, maybe we should just remove that whole category area, IMO. --[[User:RB0|RB0]] 18:34, 14 February 2008 (CET)

RB0: comment

Can this game be played in a first-person perspective, or is it only playable in third-person? Otherwise it should be removed from the First-person shooters category. [[User:83.252.17.61|83.252.17.61]] 21:20, 10 February 2008 (CET)
:Judging from the screenshots, it would appear that it does at least support first person perspective. --[[User:RB0|RB0]] 22:55, 10 February 2008 (CET)

'''''Radakan''''', formerly '''''The Shattered Lands''''', is a single-player RPG in a dark dynamic setting, driven by a freedom-of-choice environment, with focus on true role-playing instead of combat.

== Project Background ==

==== Past ====

First known as '''The Scattered Lands''', '''Radakan''' had its first recruitment post on march 4, 2006, and as such it is considered the starting date of the project.

On march 9, 2006 Tinus joined the team. A couple of months later, it became clear that the project lacked progressive work and leadership, and Tinus became the factual leader.

The date when Tariqwalji, a fellow programmer, joined august 16, 2006, is considered the restart of the project. Elaborate work on the design document started shortly afterwards.

In early 2007 it was decided that there should be an official leader for the project; Tinus.

==== Present ====

The current milestone is finishing a demo to submit to the [http://www.gamedev.net/community/contest/4e6/ 4E6 Contest].

== Design ==

* '''No leveling''' - Unlike many games, Radakan doesn't use the traditional leveling model,
* '''Involving quests''' - In Radakan there are repetitive quests or compulsory quests that are mandatory for your progress. Quests in Radakan will be a way to dig deeper into the main or side-plot, and also have an effect on the characters involved treat you from there on. Rewards will usually be involved, but not necessarily something material.
* '''No monsters, big plot''' - Well, there will be what some might call ''monsters'', but they will not be static enemies that are just there for kill&reward.
* '''Unique low-fantasy setting''' - As mentioned in the setting section below, our setting seperates itself from the typical, often Tolkien-inspired, settings with elves, orcs, dragons and the likes. Our setting is what you might even call low-fantasy, as magic is a rarity, and even though we might "bend the rules" sometimes if it's keeping the player from having fun, we won't go far beyond the familiar boundaries of 'realism' as long as it adds to the setting and doesn't punish the gameplay.

== Features ==

Radakan's special features will not be so much in special controls or fast-paced gameplay. Rather, it will be about unique interaction, and actual attachment to the characters in your surroundings.

=== Current aims ===

'''Technical (design- and programming wise)'''
* A way of jumping/climbing
* Advanced conversation system
* Highly interactive environment (actions with consequences)
* GUI for inventory
* Shop
* Moving NPCs
* First-person view

'''Content'''
* An engaging story.
* Involving quests.
* Multiple compositions and sound-effects.
* A complete 3D level.
* Multiple 3D statics and characters.

== Story and Plot ==

'''''Radakan''''' doesn't have a conventional storyline, but it will have several dynamic stories.

=== Current aims ===
* The player starts in a miningfield, populated by low-class houses where all the workers live.
* The player's main goal will be to find his way out of the workingplace without any voilent means, as that would not be possible.

'''Challenges the player will face'''
* Convincing his parents that 'change is possible'.
* Getting the right people on his side, and avoiding too much interaction with the wrong kind of people.
* Ultimately finding a way to get to the upper levels of the city.

== Setting ==

==== Unique Features ====

* '''No Elves and dwarves''' - The developers tried to completely avoid including cliché races such as dwarves and elves, instead focusing on completely unique fantasy races.
* '''Magic as a rarity''' - In the game universe, magic is a thing of oddity, the word hardly being spoken, and the power only used by the privileged or the lucky.
* '''Gods''' - Radakan was said to have been created by immortal beings, ''gods'', in which the different tribes and species believe and worship.

==== Temporary Setting ====
'''Please note:''' ''This temporary setting is due to a [http://www.gamedev.net/community/contest/4e6/ contest held by the GameDev.net community].''

The game takes place in the city of ''Moldan'', known better as the ''"City of Cavum Aetnae"'', as most of the city's inhabitants are placed right in the middle of the great crater. At the bottom-middle of it the workers are placed, working hard for a lousy living, surpressed by the corrupted government and the higher class citizens, living secluded from the rest.

''Our main objective for this contest was to include four pre-selected elements that we should find a way to implement in our game. We used these four elements as follows:''

* '''Crystals''' - Crystals could very well be called the driving-force behind the plot of the game. The crystals exhumed from deep inside the mines are the soul reason why the higher society are driving the lower classes with such a cold iron hand. They are rumored to hold magical powers and are highly saught for.
* '''Donkeys''' - Donkeys are the most important workers of the mines, pulling heavy loads and keeping odd under-ground machineries going.
* '''Explosions''' - It's quite simple: Sometimes explosives have to be put in use in order to break up the hard rock walls. If we get the time, we might also include explosives as a tool for the player to use in the game, allowing for instance to blow up a secret entrance.
* '''Accountants''' - The profession of an accountant is a highly respected one by the higher classes, yet despised by the middle and lower class, as they know he most likely makes his earnings making dirty money flowing around in the corrupted government look a bit more clean.

'''''DarkPlaces''''' is a 3d game engine based on ''Quake'', created by [[Forest Hale]]. It features many improvements over the original Quake engine, such as client-side [[QuakeC]], limited support for the Quake 3 material shader system, decals, support for Quake 3 file formats, etc, while still remaining fully compatible to the original Quake assets and its QuakeC code. Hence why no major changes to the interface have been made. ''Darkplaces'' is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]].<ref>[http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=596 linuX-gamers post that metions license as GPL]</ref>

::Biased how so? I just read the whole article and it seems to be just an explanation of features.

:::Yeah, it's not that bad, but things like "the plan atm is to..." are rather useless, because they are not good to maintain and are too specific and fast-changing, so if a gameteammember creates an article it's always good to strip it down.

'''Kiba''' is the founder of the [[Main_Page|libregamewiki]].

Kiba has a history with editing wiki and contributing Free content. He edited wikipedia, comixpedia, and now this. He is also an aspiring game programmer. He tried to create a few Free games but they mostly end up as partially complete or half baked.

'''Current Status:'''
Kiba's goal is to displace Qubodup in term of edits. Kiba believe that as an operator of this wiki, his work should constitute the majority of edits.

On the other hand, Kiba has difficulty in completing game projects on time...

'''Quotes:'''

''"Pingus is a puzzle game that involves penguins."''
==Philosophically speaking...==
Kiba is in the pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, imagination and higher plain of consciousness. He wishes to transcend his humanity.

Kiba is a tranhumanist who generally dislike excuses for being stupid, flawed as we are. He also believes that humanity is flawed because million years of evolution only make us "good enough" for the purpose of passing on the genes to the next generation. Kiba view "passing on the genes" as meaningless. He hates violence, deceptive behaviors, bickering among politicians, and other things.

He believes the pursuit of imagination and other related fields such as arts, science as the only meaningful activity(as well educating the next generation so the older generation can pass on the pursuit) that humanity can do to make up for their flaws. He also believe that the supergoal of humanity should be to become a successor or create a successor to humanity.

He classified himself as a libertarian, favoring neither political party in power in the US.

==About:Categories==
*'''How to use categories:''' Write <nowiki>[[Category:CATEGORY NAME]]</nowiki> at the end (for better overview) of the page.
*'''Use and make categories:''' Categories are very handy for sorting articles, as the category pages have not to be maintained (in contrast to lists.) Use categories and create new ones.
*'''Put categories in categories:''' <nowiki>[[Category:Real-time strategy games]] is a sub-category of [[Category:Games]]. Many categories can be sorted hierarchically, so exploit this feature.
